Yes, yes, yes, got to get this done! However, back to reality. Trout is a true competitor and would want to play for a team built for the playoffs. There is no light at the end of the tunnel for our Angels. Hearing that our minor league system is the absolute worse in the MLB, how do you sell that to Trout? "Look Mike, we suck this year, but in the years to come we have a strong core of players coming up, and with you leading the way for us as our CENTERFIELDER and as our future hall of famer, we will be solid." Yeah, wish Dipoto can say that!

Not hitting hard, um really? An article needed to be written about something so painfully obvious. Must be a slow day at the press office for sure.

Trout...enough said.

Scioscia is a Doyer fan.

Come on everyone, sing together now: "Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, heeyyyyy, good-bye!"

That Vernon Wells clip never gets old....I LMAO everytime I see it. Let's put some words into Bautista's mouth upon his reaction: "Whaaaaa, whaaaa whaaaaa.... I deserved that HR. I want my mommy!" Shuck and Calhoun play just as intense as Trout...love them!

"This would be SOOOO unworkable. Talking about messing with the records. Besides, I'm sure there would be a lot of games that are won by the team in which the roiding player goes 0-4 and makes an error in the field. So, the player on roids contributed to the team's win? I don't think so. Remember, steroids can't make you hit balls you would otherwise swing and miss at...." ********************************************* Really? Don't you think by taking steriods they are messing with the records already? For example, Barry Bonds and the home run record. I agree, steriods does not give a player hand/eye coordination to hit the ball, but it gives you a better recovery and keeps you going, above other players who are injured and don't use them, to be able to keep your hand/eye coordination at top level. And...so what if the roid player has a game or two, or more, going 0-4 and maybe not contributing.......at least he is out there PLAYING instead of being on the DL, giving him every opportunity to contribute to the team while being on drugs---call it what it is, a player on drugs, playing baseball. MLB has got to get tougher on this issue!!!!

Here is how you take care of steriod use in the bigs....once a player tests positive, for each game that was won in which the cheater had participated in the during the season since his last "clean" pee test should be changed in the division standings as a LOSS. Talk about impacting the game of baseball and giving the extremely high priced players, who use HGH, a reality check. Not to mention, the verbal "blanket party" his teammates will give him. They need something much bigger than a 50 game suspension.

PSS. Pretty please, with sugar on top. Oops... okay, maybe something not-so-sweet on top to help with the weight issue. Amen

See A-fraud...you can recover without the use of 'roids. Even though I hate the Yankees, Jeter is a great player and a class act. Good for him.

LOL

Build me up buttercup, just to f'ing let me down......uggghhhhhhh

2013: How the Angels enormous payroll of players cannot put together a "W' against a team of MLB unknowns (aka: AAAstros), yet they sweep the team that has the best AL record. This season, so far, has played out as if they were in "The Twilight Zone." Wait! We can call it, "The Angel Zone"... You are now entering a dimension in which overpaid, veteran players cannot seem to play to their potential. A place where the manager's reaction to the misery on the field is to "turn the page" and to keep eating lots of lasagna. A place where every night you wonder if the bull pen will be giving up the long ball. You are now entering, The Angel Zone

Ok, so the first pitch was a ball and it was subsequently called a strike. Big deal. A hitter gets three, count them three, strikes per at bat. Pujols still had two strikes to work with before being called out....what is the excuse now people????? He is paid to perform in crucial sitations. He FAILED miserably.

"A very nice series (in a season full of very poor ones) is not good enough for the type of salary and expectations that he has. I can count on one hand, without using most of my fingers, how many times he has come through in these situations. I don't hate Albert at all, I am just very disappointed in his lack of production and the failures to come through in situations such as these." Ed you are right on the money with this! He is being paid to perform in those situations and not to swing at chin music.

That was an important hitting situation for Pujols. Not because it would get the Angels into the playoffs or anything close to that, but to show the younger players on the team (and the fans) what a true veteran performer does when the game is on the line. He PERFORMS! It was a disgrace to see him end the game on a swing that just looked so pathetic. Now our younger players (Trout/Trumbo/Bourjos,etc) will know be thinking: "Do we really want to stay on this team if or when we get the ability to sign a contract in the future?" I think NOT. Thanks Albert.

I think of the Steve Miller song, "Go on, take the money and run, whoo whoo whoo." That's all Hamilton is doing---got the big contract signing and now just wants to run himself out of the game.

Trumbo needs to decline.....his bat declined after the derby last year.

"If the Halos lose..." I think you meant When the Halos lose...

I'm going to need a new avitar, cuz it's a bust of a season

Hardy is hating the Angels' center fielders, LOL! Great rob Petey!

Great...glad to hear that once he signs a huge multi-million dollar contract and puts on an Angels uniform he begins to struggle like he never has before. Thanks Josh! All of us Angel fans appreciate it.

Bottom line is this.....we want to keep Trout. Trout loves CF. I know he says the politically correct things in the press about being a good sport and relinquishing CF for the betterment of the team, but it is fact that he prefers CF. At this point in his short career, Trout has earned the right and deserves CF. If Trout can be moved to LF, why can't PBJ do the same thing?!?! PBJ is a good player, but he is not a future MVP or hall of famer like Trout. Give Kid Fish CF so he stays with our Angels... JeDi get this done!

Hallelujah!!!

Frieri relys too much on fastball, fastball, fastball....and now he has lost control of it. His fastball would be great if he can control and get some secondary pitches worked out.
